if there was one thing i learned, it is confirming the thought 'if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there'.
my selfish endeavor has not sabotaged my aspirations to become an 'experienced' veterinarian, rather, it has created a new path in this jungle and it is just up to me to appreciate more every single thing i come across.
right now, things are still obscure, and surprisingly, i have come to the point of smiling at it. i used to be so afraid and uneasy with this obscurity... but now i'm just taking it all in.
i like taking lessons from life. in everything that one does, there is always something to learn and pick up.
yes, i am back in manila. i resigned from three jobs the past year and it might be a sign of screwing up, perhaps being increasingly fickle. but i don't know. sincerely speaking, i am at a place where i picture myself floating in an open sea and i am not afraid of drowning or getting lost. i will continue to swim and dive to find out what i'm looking for.
ah. the quarter life crisis perhaps. the turbulent twenties.
you finally found out you're never too sure of any decision until you're actuallly there, and you will not settle for anything less.
today it's sunday and i'm glad i will spend it with my family. oh i missed the sundays. the drive to bulacan, seeing my grandparents, our old family home, and talking to people who knew me from birth, and speaking tagalog, too, not ilonggo.
i arrived at the centennial (forgive spelling if it's wrong) airport at 8:30 pm and i found myself lighting up because i completely understood what the people around me are saying... because to me the endless babbles of the visayans were, indeed, like hiding in a cocoon and talking to myself. it is not that i didn't want to learn the 'dialect' but that i just couldn't 100% comprehend every sentence they speak at my back. serious paranoia effects. lol.
it's a crazy life. things i want to do:
-bake cookies for baon of my kapatids,
-wake up early and give tagpi a bath,
-buy dog food for starbucks and take her for a general blood check up at up vth,
-see my friends,
-talk to people,
-drive for my mother,
-go to church,
-take a warm shower every morning,
-feel, think, read so much more...
currently reading hemingway's fiesta the sun also rises. i bought the book for 50 pesos only. i like that. i have got to catch up on my literature.
